Judge William Adams beats daughter for using the internet [graphic video]

Horrific footage of blatant child abuse was posted to Reddit earlier today by the daughter of Arkansas County, Texas Court-at-Law judge William Adams. The daughter, Hillary Adams who suffers from cerebral palsy, was punished for downloading music on an illegal filesharing site.

This is the text that was posted with the video: Aransas County Court-At-Law Judge William Adams took a belt to his own teenage daughter as punishment for using the internet to acquire music and games that were unavailable for legal purchase at the time. She has had ataxic cerebral palsy from birth that led her to a passion 

for technology, which was strictly forbidden by her father's backwards views. The judge's wife was emotionally abused herself and was severely manipulated into assisting the beating and should not be blamed for any content in this video. The judge's wife has since left the marriage due to the abuse, which 

continues to this day, and has sincerely apologized and repented for her part and for allowing such a thing, long before this video was even revealed to exist. Judge William Adams is not fit to be anywhere near the law system if he can't even exercise fit judgement as a parent himself. Do not allow this man to ever be re-elected again. His "judgement" is a giant farce. Signed, Hillary Adams, his daughter.

Since we posted the video on Current.com the video has been viewed more than 3 million times on YouTube.

Here is an interview with Hillary and her mother (who also beat Hillary) about the abuse which took place seven years ago.
